Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming today. I really appreciate learning about it.
One of the things I do have experience in is I spent a number of years as the token male with 35 women in a work site, so I've been on the other side. The male washroom when I came in was used for a storage room.
To the manufacturing side, one of the pieces of my career was having a lot of experiences with parents of high school and junior high kids. I would be encouraging junior high and high school kids to look at apprenticeship programs and work experience starting at 16. By the time you're 20, you have your ticket. By the time you're 30, you own your own business. It's a career path to owning your own business.
My biggest challenge was the parents. In surveys we did, in talking with them, their kids were all going to university.
Have you had any experience with that?
